Sadly Passed Oct 2024 - RIP
#1. - I'm starting here because this has the most coverage and I know it will get moved to Off Topic, so please no re-criminations ...Thank you ..........#2.- I won't get into ALL the measurements and weights involved to achieve what I need - " UNLESS " someone can actually provide an answer to the problem .........#3. What I want to achieve is this : on my 917 project car, which has been cut in half :yikes: ....is to raise the rear half from horizontal to vertical ( ie. open the back half for access to the motor )..... I started with Gas Struts ( because I had some ) but they won't work because the Struts provide Constant pressure ( ie. if something gets lighter, the struts will accelerate very fast )..... I can get Torsion springs in sizes to fit ... with lift capacities from 80lbs to 320lbs. ...these will fit on the rear hinges (?) ......... So if you can help me out it would be GREATLY appreciated.....either in a post or PM ........ Thank you ....Mike :thumbup:...... PS, the rear is already hinged ( using Rod ends & 1/2 in bolts ) and I have lifted it to vertical successfully, so I know it works .......... PPS, my Albums have many pics of the project so far - more to come :clap:
